The sky would light up sporadically as bombs fell, each explosion briefly illuminating the devastation below. Every few minutes, fiery trails streaked across the horizon as artillery shells roared through the air. The ground trembled under the weight of heavy armor rolling down the roads, each rumble a stark reminder of the war engulfing the city.<\/p><p>Yet amidst the chaos of battle, the night sky was breathtaking. Without the interference of city lights, the galaxy stretched above, infinite and serene, a stark contrast to the destruction on the ground. For a moment, it was almost peaceful. Then, the relentless buzz of drones overhead pulled me back to reality. It was a moment of paradox\u2014both hauntingly beautiful and devastatingly chaotic. In that fragile instant, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder: Is this my final moment?<\/p><p>In the latter half of the summer, I was <a href=\"https:\/\/cepa.org\/article\/ukraines-nerds-join-rambos-to-repel-russia\/\">embedded<\/a> with various units on the frontlines in Ukraine\u2019s defense against the ongoing Russian invasion. I spent time with units in Donetsk Oblast, Kharkiv Oblast, and Zaporizhzhia Oblast. I had the opportunity to report on critical aspects of the war, including drone warfare, the role of <a href=\"https:\/\/euromaidanpress.com\/2024\/10\/29\/international-legion\/\">Colombian soldiers<\/a> fighting in Ukraine, the evolution of tank warfare, and the strategies employed by mortar units.<\/p><p>But beyond the tactics and technology, I continued to witness the immense <a href=\"https:\/\/war.huri.harvard.edu\/2024\/06\/07\/freedom-no-matter-the-cost\/\">human cost<\/a> of this war. I saw the toll it took on the soldiers\u2014their exhaustion, their grief, and their unwavering bravery. There were moments when I wanted to cry for my fallen friends and for the soldiers who, despite facing death every day, continued to accept the consequences of this fight. They return again and again to the conflict, not just to defend their homes but to protect the freedom they hold so dear. It reminds me of a saying from <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/78g0QLiNXnoGw88RRj5XUr\">General Valerii Zaluzhnyii<\/a>, recently shared with Ukrainian recruits training in the United Kingdom: \u201cLearn not to be afraid of death.\u201d<\/p><p>People must repress their instinctual fear of death to face combat and endure the loss of friends and fellow soldiers. This psychological suspension of the fear of death, while necessary for survival in the short term, has profound and often detrimental effects on their long-term mental health. On one hand, suppressing the fear can foster a sense of focus and fortitude, enabling soldiers to make split-second decisions under life-threatening conditions. On the other hand, this repression can also lead to significant psychological consequences over time, such as emotional numbness, detachment, or the inability to process grief.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9671acc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9671acc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12213\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12213\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/86-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"86\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/86-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7bfd89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7bfd89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>The author in a basement on the frontline, while embedded with a drone unit conducting combat operations.

They placed great trust in me to share their stories, to ensure their fight is not forgotten, and to help audiences in the West understand that they feel no different from any other ordinary person suddenly faced with this overwhelming conflict. These soldiers had no choice but to take up arms to defend their homes against the Russian invaders.<\/p><p>They, too, dream of being at home, living in peace and embracing their children. They don\u2019t want their sacrifices to be in vain. As a journalist, I feel a profound responsibility to tell their stories and reveal the truth about what is happening on the frontlines. May my words bring meaning to their struggle, and may our collective voices create the impact needed to make a difference.<\/p><p>But beneath the bravery and determination, I  also began to sense a creeping anger among many soldiers. They voiced a stark warning: if the U.S. and Europe allow Ukraine to fall, its army and infrastructure will be absorbed into the Russian war machine, and these same Ukrainian soldiers could one day find themselves fighting in Europe for Russia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cbca60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1cbca60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12214\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12214\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/87-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"87\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/87-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-880b9c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"880b9c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>\u0410\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u0456\u0437 \u0431\u0456\u0439\u0446\u044f\u043c\u0438 \u00ab\u042f\u0441\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u041e\u0447\u0435\u0439\u00bb \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437 \u043d\u0456\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0431\u043e\u043c\u0431\u0430\u0440\u0434\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0434\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u0432 \u0427\u0430\u0441\u043e\u0432\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u042f\u0440\u0443. \u0414\u0436\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043b\u043e: \u0414\u0435\u0432\u0456\u0434 \u041a\u0438\u0440\u0438\u0447\u0435\u043d\u043a\u043e<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4857a06 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4857a06\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cfc754 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7cfc754\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>They expressed frustration at having to fight with limited support and with their hands tied behind their backs due to targeting restrictions and the lack of weapons. For Ukrainians, this is an existential fight for survival\u2014for their homeland, their families, and their identity. Yet, to bureaucrats across Europe and in the U.S., the focus often seems to be on avoiding escalation or angering Putin, even as a genocide unfolds before the world\u2019s eyes. Despite the immense loss of life among Ukraine's best and brightest, the Biden administration continued to urge Kyiv to lower its conscription age from 25 to 18 to draft more young men, rather than providing the comprehensive military support necessary to ensure victory, such as removing weapon restrictions and giving Ukraine more weaponry.<\/p><p>It often feels inhumane to explain to Western audiences why supporting Ukraine is in their self-interest. To secure their backing, those of us speaking for our friends and families in Ukraine are forced to highlight the economic benefits\u2014such as job creation in the United States\u2014rather than appealing to the shared humanity and the moral imperative to stand against evil in the world. As Hitler taught us in WWII, evil doesn\u2019t just grow in isolation, it wants to grow and spread to destroy the whole world if it can.<\/p><p>I often wonder why humanity fails to learn from history. As discussions grow about freezing the war or pursuing a settlement, few seem to recognize that similar attempts were made after Russia\u2019s first invasion in 2014. Those efforts failed because, at its core, modern Russia cannot exist without Ukraine being subjugated. The Russian identity, as it has been shaped, is deeply tied to the idea of Ukraine as an enslaved entity under its control.<\/p><p>No matter the outcome, I will stand with the Ukrainian people until the very end. I believe in victory because our freedom has been centuries in the making. Our Cossack ancestors dreamed of being a free people and fought tirelessly for that dream. I still feel that deep connection to them, and the same burning desire for freedom lives within me.<\/p><p>I saw that same unyielding spirit in the soldiers I stood alongside on the frontlines. Faced with death, fully aware that their time may be short, they still choose to fight. They choose to die standing rather than bend a submissive knee to Russia. Now, I have the responsibility\u2014and the privilege\u2014to tell their stories. These are ordinary civilians who have become extraordinary heroes, fighting not just for Ukraine but for the ideals of freedom and humanity itself. This is after all, <a href=\"https:\/\/war.huri.harvard.edu\/2023\/12\/07\/a-war-for-the-soul-of-humanity\/\">a war for the soul of humanity<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>The Road into Ukraine<\/strong><\/p><p>As usual when I travel from the United States back to Ukraine, I packed my suitcases full of drones to bring to soldiers. The journey typically takes two days \u2013 flying from the U.S. to Poland, then taking three different trains across the border and through Ukraine to reach Dnipro in the eastern part of the country, close to the front line. From there, I would venture onward to various parts of the front line.<\/p><p>While boarding a train in Poland, I found myself sharing a cabin with an American photojournalist heading to a war zone for the first time. He confided that most of his colleagues had shifted their focus to Israel and Lebanon, leaving Ukraine largely overlooked. Determined to come anyway, he admitted he had no plan, no connections, and no idea where to start. I introduced him to friends in Ukraine who helped him gain access to the frontlines and connect with local contacts. Later, he told me the experience was life-changing\u2014witnessing firsthand the devastation Russia has unleashed on Ukraine. He vowed to return soon, determined to document the courageous resistance of the Ukrainian people.<\/p><p>As a journalist, trust and connections are essential. At the start of the war, I became close with friends in Dnipro like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurasiareview.com\/24102024-the-business-launchers-who-became-molotov-makers-and-rescue-squads-oped\/\">Alina Holovko<\/a>, who helped me build relationships with soldiers across many different units. Through this Dnipro \"crew,\" I established connections with several frontline units, which became invaluable in my reporting.<\/p><p>The hardest part of being an independent journalist isn\u2019t the danger of being on the frontlines (though that is omnipresent). It\u2019s the intense negotiations required to gain access to the front and the challenging logistics of moving through a warzone. Every step requires careful planning, coordination, and persistence to get to the fore of the conflict. Often I  may negotiate with a commander and get alignment, but then a press officer steps in to derail the conversation and demand a detailed list of questions. But as a journalist, it\u2019s hard to operate with predefined questions, as the best lines of inquiry develop while bearing witness to actual events.<\/p><p>This trip felt darker than the ones before. A heavy burden weighed on me, and the growing numbness inside was impossible to ignore. It lingers, paralyzing me after I leave Ukraine, replaced by the guilt of surviving and retreating to safety. When I met <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurasiareview.com\/24102024-the-business-launchers-who-became-molotov-makers-and-rescue-squads-oped\/\">Alina<\/a>, we talked about how at the start of the war there was an odd thrill in driving into cities under siege, even as Russian artillery rained down. Each mission in 2022 brought a story we had never lived before. But now, after years of war, we feel like old veterans\u2014hardened and haunted. We've seen too much, and the weight of it is hard to shake. Nerves of steel have formed, but not in a way that feels right. Only when the war ends will I be able to confront the demons it has left behind.<\/p><p><strong>Toretsk Front<\/strong><br \/><br \/>My first journey on this trip to the front took me to Toretsk in Donetsk Oblast, where I spent time with a <a href=\"https:\/\/cepa.org\/article\/the-era-of-the-cautious-tank\/\">tank unit<\/a> from Ukraine\u2019s 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade. The soldiers I met ranged from young men in their 20s to seasoned fighters in their 50s. All of them bore the visible and emotional scars of battle.<\/p><p>Some spoke with sorrow about the pain of losing friends in combat\u2014stories of tanks hitting mines, leaving them helpless to pull their comrades' bodies out in time. Others shared the constant dangers of tank operations, particularly the vulnerability of being out in the open for too long. They described the threat of first-person view (FPV) drones, inexpensive weapons capable of destroying multi-million-dollar tanks. These drones, which cost a few hundred dollars each, can neutralize an entire armored vehicle, forcing soldiers to adapt and innovate in the face of relentless challenges.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8766231 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8766231\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70f0d13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"70f0d13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12215\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12215\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/88\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"88\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/88-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0fed3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0fed3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>The author posing for a photo atop a T-64 Ukrainian tank with soldiers from the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade.

Anatoliy, a tank operator, shared the heartache of watching his child grow up from afar. \u201cI see her growing through pictures and videos on my phone,\u201d he told me, unable to bear the thought of missing these irreplaceable moments in her life.<\/p><p>Some of the men in the tank unit are in their early 20s and have been fighting since the start of the full-scale invasion. While their age defines them as young, everything they\u2019ve witnessed and endured has aged their souls by decades.<\/p><p>In one instance, we went to a nearby lake on a raft. From there, we could see the city of Toretsk burning, black smoke rising against the sky, with constant artillery explosions and aircraft overhead. Yet, in the middle of the lake, two of the young men began jumping off the raft, splashing each other, and laughing. For a brief moment, they seemed to reclaim their youth, escaping the horrors of combat, even if just for a while.<\/p><p>I stayed nearby, swimming and watching them, thinking to myself: They shouldn\u2019t be here, facing this horrific war. They should be living normal lives, doing what young men are meant to do\u2014running around, causing trouble, and chasing girls.<\/p><p>At night, I wandered around the base, gazing at the beautiful night sky and enjoying a quiet walk. Yet even in the darkness, the roar of outgoing artillery and the whistling of incoming shells never stopped. Over time, you get used to it\u2014the constant explosions lose their grip on you and become just so much background noise.<\/p><p>But some moments remind you of the constant danger. While walking in the dark, I suddenly heard a deafening boom close by. Instinctively, I dropped to the ground and quickly retreated to the bunker, my heart racing. The next morning, I got up at 6 a.m. to use the bathroom and caught a glimpse of the sunrise. It was breathtaking \u2013 a brief reminder of the beauty that still exists even in chaos. But as I stood there, I heard the unmistakable buzz of a drone overhead. Taking no chances, I sprinted back to the bunker, leaving my morning routine unfinished. This is the reality of life on the front: even in the quietest moments, danger and death are never far away.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-097ab3a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"097ab3a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79f5fed elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"79f5fed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12217\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12217\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/90\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"90\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/90-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba5e962 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ba5e962\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Anatoliy from the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade resting after finishing the inspection of the T-64 tank after combat operations.

Whenever I asked the commander, \u201cSpartak,\u201d a question about tank warfare, he\u2019d deflect with a joke and laughter, unwilling to show his true emotions.

Over the next few days, he granted me unrestricted access (to the Yasni Ochi unit). I spent time at their headquarters, listened in on battle plans, studied detailed maps, and witnessed other battlefield operations.<\/p><p>The weight of the responsibility was overwhelming. I knew that if I documented or accidentally revealed something sensitive, it could cost soldiers their lives. This made me hyper-aware and cautious about everything I did.<\/p><p>At one point, I asked Volkov why he was willing to entrust me\u2014a Ukrainian-American journalist\u2014alone in the field with such critical secrets. While I had journalist accreditation from the Ministry of Defense, Volkov explained that he had my name cleared through counterintelligence services to ensure I was a journalist with good intentions. His confidence in me was humbling. He was proud of his men and wanted their story shared. \u201cListen, people, I pray the hell we\u2019re facing never comes to your lands or your homes. It\u2019s terrifying. We\u2019re dying out here every day.

I also spent time in the kitchen, which doubled as a workshop where engineers modified drones and others assembled bombs to be dropped from them. Some of the 3D-printed bombs were filled with nails, designed to scatter shrapnel over Russian soldiers, while others were packed with explosive materials. The air hummed with a mix of focus and urgency, the reality of the war reflected in every meticulous adjustment and careful assembly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d0b0a1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6d0b0a1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df7602d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"df7602d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12218\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12218\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/91\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"91\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/91-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4551229 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4551229\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Volkov at the \u201ckitchen\u201d with Serhii (callsign: \u201cPetstep\u201d), the main engineer of Yasni Ochi that is modifying drones for the unit.

We had to wait until sunset to move to our position near the front, as traveling during the day was too dangerous.  During the day, we would be easy prey for FPV drones. The Ukrainian soldiers explained that Russia still lacks a significant number of FPV drones equipped with night vision, giving the Ukrainians a slight advantage under cover of darkness.<\/p><p>Most vehicles transporting drone pilots to the front carry a jammer, but its effectiveness isn\u2019t guaranteed. Some enemy drones operate on different frequencies, making them harder to counter. Before reaching the site, the soldiers carefully scanned the skies for enemy drones to avoid detection and an immediate strike. Once we arrived at our position, we quickly unloaded from the van. Supplies were swiftly carried underground into a dugout, where the soldiers waited until the skies were clear of enemy activity before deploying their reconnaissance drone. If the Russians spotted the launch, they would respond with artillery fire and send FPV drones to target the position.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-984166b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"984166b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a511560 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a511560\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12219\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12219\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/92\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"92\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/92-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd87f57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd87f57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Ihor, a drone pilot from Yasni Ochi, guides the Vector drone with an Xbox controller.

Nearby, Ukrainian artillery and mortar units had set up and were actively firing at Russian positions. Their activity began to attract unwanted attention to our area. At one point, eight Russian drones were circling above.<\/p><p>The situation grew even more tense when a Ukrainian tank unexpectedly rolled up beside our position and opened fire. Unaware of our presence, the tank inadvertently drew even more Russian drones overhead. We had no choice but to stay hidden. At one point, we sat frozen, exchanging uneasy glances as the unmistakable buzz of a Russian drone hovered right above us. Fortunately, we were well-concealed, and as long as we stayed still under the branches covering us, our heat signatures wouldn\u2019t be detected. Still, I couldn\u2019t shake the question: was this the moment we would get hit?<\/p><p>Using the reconnaissance drone for the night mission, the soldiers meticulously tracked Russian movements around the ruins of <a href=\"https:\/\/war.huri.harvard.edu\/2023\/09\/14\/realizations-from-donbas\/\">Bakhmut<\/a>. This city, which traces its origins back to the 16th century and formerly held a population of over 70,000, now stands largely in ashes and rubble thanks to the war. The Russians move through the remains on ATVs and motorbikes for rapid maneuvers, adding another layer of unpredictability to the mission. When it was time for us to return back to the base, we faced another harrowing journey\u2014driving back on broken roads that could be mined, all while knowing the unarmored van was vulnerable to drone strikes.<\/p><p>During another night mission, the Ukrainian soldiers were using a larger 'Vampire' drone to drop <a href=\"https:\/\/cepa.org\/article\/dragon-drones-ukraines-night-hunters\/\">anti-tank mines<\/a> on Russian positions. In the dugout, practically just down the street from the enemy, two drone pilots, Vitaly and Yuriy, stared at me for a moment before asking why I would risk my life to be out here on the front. Their question hung in the tense air between us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-693b838 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"693b838\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1aec4ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1aec4ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12220\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12220\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/93\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"93\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/93-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3bc48b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a3bc48b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Ukrainian drone operators Vitaly and Yuriy from Yasni Ochi work on the frontline against Russian forces.

It just feels right.\u201d<\/p><p>The following night, I would again go on an FPV drone bombing mission with a separate part of the unit. As dusk settled, DJI Mavic drones and other reconnaissance devices silently swept the skies, gathering intelligence that would guide the night's bombing missions. These aerial scouts tracked enemy movements, pinpointed newly dug trenches and attempted fortifications. With nightfall, the Russians retreated to their dugouts, unaware that soon, Ukrainian drones would pierce the darkness and rain destruction from above.<\/p><p>The journey to the front began under a shroud of complete darkness. Inside the van, the driver switched off all lights and drove without night vision, relying solely on his memory of the roads. The world outside was an inky void; it felt as though any moment we might crash into unseen obstacles. The tension was palpable.<\/p><p>As we neared the drop-off point, the devastation became evident. Houses burned from recent shelling, their smoldering frames silhouetted against the horizon. Under enemy fire, the soldiers disembarked with practiced urgency, unloading their gear and rushing for cover. The van roared away, leaving us amidst the violence of the front.<\/p><p>Underground, the soldiers waited in tense silence, their red lights casting an eerie glow as they prepared for the mission ahead. The first task: establishing their lifeline\u2014a Starlink connection and antenna that will deliver the night's objectives.

With too few soldiers, they are unable to rotate men in and out as needed.<\/p><p>For now, Ukraine holds the line in Chasiv Yar, thanks to drone units like Yasni Ochi. Their bravery and ingenuity prevent Russian forces from breaking through, but their commander, Serhii, known as \"Fly,\" voices the mounting frustration.<\/p><p>\"The Russians have significantly more artillery and effective aviation,\" he explains, exhaustion etched on his face. \"They advance slowly, wave after wave, digging into the basements of every building. Without enough shells and rockets, we can only hold the line. We can't push forward.\"<\/p><p>Serhii rises from his chair, his frustration palpable. \"The West only gives us enough to defend, not to win.

Many of the Colombians were uncomfortable, worried about having their faces captured on camera or their identities revealed. To complicate matters, other commanders in the area approached me, saying I wasn\u2019t authorized to be there. The situation grew a bit dramatic and stressful, but Dima firmly intervened. He insisted that I was cleared and approved to be there, even going so far as to call headquarters and push back against the objections. His determination to vouch for me was unrelenting.<\/p><p>Despite the tension, I decided to approach the Colombian soldiers and began speaking with them in Spanish. They were stunned to learn that I could speak their language. Dima returned shortly after to assure me everything had been settled and that I could freely observe, record, and take notes. He even offered to help if I needed anything further.<\/p><p>Within minutes of chatting in Spanish, the Colombians quickly warmed up to me. They started running over to take selfies, and soon I was conducting interviews with them in Spanish. Their camaraderie and humor were infectious, much to the irritation of the training officer, whose instructions were drowned out as the Colombians began singing and cracking jokes with me.<\/p><p>Nonetheless, both the Ukrainian and Colombian soldiers quickly got into action. Dima explained that the most critical aspect of storming enemy positions is shouting to maintain clear communication. However, it was challenging to watch the soldiers yelling in different languages, struggling to stay in sync.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d073a8c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d073a8c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12230\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12230\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/103\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"103\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/103-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e7b831 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e7b831\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>The author poses for a photo with Colombian soldiers fighting in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

While searching for an elderly woman who needed to be evacuated, he took a wrong turn. As he continued his search, Russian forces spotted the Red Cross on his van and unleashed a barrage of firepower. Targeting humanitarian and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/europe\/2024\/11\/03\/hell-horror-and-heroism-in-ukraines-battlefield-hospitals\">medical workers<\/a> has become an increasingly common tactic by Russian forces, turning acts of mercy into life-threatening missions. The Russians struck his van, but Oleksandr managed to escape just in time, evading the artillery and drones targeting him. When I saw him later in Dnipro, his face was etched with intense shock.<\/p><p><strong>Freedom is Our Destiny<\/strong><\/p><p>I don\u2019t go to the front seeking death. Like the Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers I meet, being in such close proximity to it makes you cherish life all the more and deepens your desire to live. But as a Ukrainian-American, I recognize that I have a unique voice, one that can make a real impact\u2014and I choose to use it. Yet, each time I go to the front, I can\u2019t help but wonder if my death will be random. It\u2019s not death itself that I fear most, but the thought of being struck by artillery or a drone, having my body ripped apart rather than facing an instant end. I also fear the possibility of Russian captivity, where torture could be a fate worse than death.<\/p><p>I often think about my friend Andriy, with whom I volunteered in <a href=\"https:\/\/war.huri.harvard.edu\/2023\/09\/14\/realizations-from-donbas\/\">Bakhmut<\/a> in 2022. After Russia's strike on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/07\/08\/nx-s1-5033075\/russia-ukraine-war-missile-strike-childrens-hospital-kyiv\">Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital<\/a>\u00a0in July, Andriy was drafted into the Ukrainian army. However, he wasn\u2019t angry about it. In his words, \"I\u2019m in my 50s now and have lived enough of life.\" Instead, his resolve was clear: he hoped to take out as many Russian soldiers as possible before he fell, seeking revenge for Okhmatdyt.<\/p><p>After returning from Ukraine, I understand the battle doesn\u2019t truly end. The frontline stretches across multiple spectrums\u2014from the physical to the informational. Far from the battlefields, members of the Ukrainian-American community are waging another critical fight on Capitol Hill. From September 22-25, 2024, the fifth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kyivpost.com\/opinion\/40323\">Ukraine Action Summit<\/a>, organized by the American Coalition for Ukraine (ACU), took place in Washington, D.C. The summit brought together over 500 delegates from 45 states to engage with members of Congress and advocate for increased support for Ukraine.<\/p><p>As a member of the Washington State delegation, I met with staffers from both the Senate and House of Representatives representing Washington State. Among all the offices we engaged with, the staff from U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell\u2019s office stood out for their attentiveness. Stacy Baird, Senator Cantwell\u2019s Senior Policy Advisor, was particularly empathetic, asking numerous thoughtful questions. He seemed genuinely interested in hearing about my experiences as a war journalist on the frontlines in Ukraine and understanding why additional military support is vital for Ukraine\u2019s success on the battlefield.<\/p><p>After the meeting, we gathered for photos with the staff, and Senator Cantwell herself came outside to meet us. During our brief conversation, I shared insights from the frontlines, emphasizing that Ukrainian soldiers are fighting for the same values and ideals that Americans hold dear. I told her how these soldiers view America as a \u201ccity on a hill.\u201d Senator Cantwell responded thoughtfully, saying, \u201cWe need to keep America as that city on a hill and give Ukraine the support it needs to win.\u201d I also urged the Senator to apply pressure on the Biden administration to allow Ukraine to conduct long-range strikes within Russia. By November 2024, the Biden administration finally relented, authorizing Ukraine to use the U.S.-supplied weapons for long-range strikes in Russia\u2019s Kursk Oblast.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e2c1805 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e2c1805\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12236\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12236\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/109\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"109\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/109-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dac4c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8dac4c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell poses for a photo with the delegation from Washington State.

Yet, here Ukraine stands, fighting and stunning the world with the bravery of its people.

The Russian troops engaged in widespread looting, burned buildings to the ground, and carried out chilling acts of brutality, such as sending the bodies of prominent Cossacks floating down the river as a grim display of dominance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a57231e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a57231e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12238\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111.png 1920w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-attachment-id=\"12238\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/2025\/03\/27\/boritesia-poborete-vam-boh-pomahaie\/attachment\/111\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111.png\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"111\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vilni-media.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/111-1024x576.png\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43ce27f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43ce27f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>The iconic sign marking the entrance to Donetsk Oblast, adorned with flags representing the various units and brigades fighting against Russia.
